Terrace Awnings explained

Terrace Awnings Large projections in front of restaurants can be achieved with terrace awnings. They are electrically operated and the blind cover is retained in structural side guides. Tension on the cloth is maintained by tension springs in the front rail. Projections of up to 6 metres are possible with cloth lengths up to 8 metres allowing the cover to drop down past the front of the projection to the ground. Free Standing Terrace Awning A freestanding terrace awning provides excellent solar protection. A single mechanism gearbox or remote control motor allows opening and closing the two sloping sections. The awning fabric is symmetrically wound or unwound on ether side of a 78mm roller tube by 4 high resistance arms. A cover board protects the fabric from adverse weather conditions. These freestanding terrace awnings are ideally suited to restaurant and recreational areas, providing a large shaded area without the need for structural fixings. A freestanding terrace awning can be moved around in its closed position to prevent the wearing of grassed areas for example. Fixed Systems •Top box Aluminium section that encloses the roller, motor and drive mechanisms. •Side guides Aluminium with powder coated or anodised finish that encloses the draw cable. •Relieving roller Aluminium roller that guides the cloth around the front curve. •Front rail Aluminium section that encloses the tension mechanisms. Free Standing •Frame Steel with powder coated paint finish. •Top board Aluminium or steel.
